2/5/15: Ta da! Re-design done. Well, not
really. The re-design idea is done, but it hasn't been completely executed
throughout the site. I couldn't wait. I've done the basics and I'll continue to
copy the changes through the site, but I couldn't look at the old one any
longer.

1/13/15: A new year. I think it's high time for
a new design for the website. More people are using their mobile devices to
surf the Web, and this site isn't friendly to small screens. I think it's time
to retire the frames.

I have a couple books to edit. First up, is the first book in Terry Green's new
White World saga, Iced. It's set some time in the future when an
ice age has struck again. After that, Rob Steiner's third book in his Codex
Antonius series, Muses of the Republic.

No promises about when I'll return to writing. My SAD kicked my ass since the
last update, and I really didn't want to do anything while it weighed me
down.

11/20/14: Wow. Three months since the last
update. I suck. My only excuse is that I've been terribly busy preparing for the
winter and trying to finish the den renovation. I worked on Gateway a
couple of times, but there just hasn't been time. The cold has set in, but now
the holidays are closing in, and I'm tentatively scheduled to start work on two
editing jobs.

8/18/14: Edited M. Terry Green's fifth
Techno-Shaman book, Shaman, Lover, Warrior. Went on our annual summer
family vacation. Played limo driver for my kids and their activities all summer.
Now that school is a week away, I'll be working on home improvement projects.
With any luck I'll squeeze some writing in, but I'm not confident. I can't seem
to find the time. I've spread myself too thin.

6/12/14: I terminated the academic paper
proofreading gig. It was not a match.

But in happier news, I finally put
We'll Watch the Sunrise from the Bottom of the Sea on
Smashwords. So if you love ebooks but don't use a Kindle, you
can find your preferred version there.

4/25/14: All caught up with editing, but I've
accepted a freelance proofreading gig for a company that handles academic
papers. It'll be steady work, though I am concerned about whether or not I've
bitten off more than I can chew. Assuming it isn't, I'll get back to work on
writing Gateway to Empire.

2/22/14: I know that I've been terrible about
updating things here. Besides the holidays, I've been busy dealing with the
over abundance of ice and snow (like most of the country), setting up my new pc
and editing.

The Nutmeg Book Festival was a success. One of these days, I'll blog about it.

My editing business has picked up. I edited Muses of Roma last fall and
the new editions of Shaman, Healer, Heretic and Shaman, Friend,
Enemy in January. I'm currently editing the latest in M. Terry Green's
Techno-Shaman series: Shaman, Priestess, Pawn. After that, comes Rob
Steiner's latest: Muses of Terra.

My writing is on hold until I get caught up on the editing.

A link to old news (anything older than a year) will go here eventually.
